Discography / Lyrics / Ratings                        

   OK, the 1st thing to understand here is that my album reviews will be using the ALIVE album as the standard, by which all the others will be measured. In my opinion, ALIVE is KISS' best piece of work.

   A low rated KISS album, (CD...I still call them albums..shows my age), is better than most other bands best work. This is comparing KISS CDs to KISS CDs.


   I'll be using my own good judgment, (or lack there of). I'll be using a 1 - 5 Star system, with 5 being the highest. I'll try to keep the commentary to a minimum, but to the point.

 Great songs, lots of classics, but the overall sound is very clean, not a lot of crunch.

4 Stars - Released on 10-24-1974 
 Once again, great songs. The 4 stars are definitely for content, not for production quality. If I had to choose one album for KISS to work some kind of studio voodoo on, to remaster and fix the muddiness, this would be the one.

5 Stars - Released on 9-10-1975 
  This is my all-time favorite album. Perfect in my opinion. Yeah, I know, there was quite a bit of studio touching up done to it. So what....this is live Rock'n'Roll at it's best.

5 Stars - Released on 3-15-1976 
   I love the huge studio sound of this. My only gripe is that there isn't much input form Ace on this album, in the song writing department. My 3rd favorite KISS recording.

I wish I had one of these. It would be cool if they released a CD version of The Originals.

Re-released Original first 3 albums in one package:
KISS
Hotter Than Hell
Dressed To Kill
5 Stars - Released on 11-11-1976 
  Rock And Roll Over is my favorite STUDIO album by KISS. Essentially a live album, recorded at the Star Theatre in Nanuet, New York, with very little studio polishing. This is KISS' hardest sounding studio album to this point in their career. Again, no Ace songs.....grrrrrrrrr.

I Want You 3:02 Stanley
Take Me 2:53 Stanley/Delaney

I think the sound of this album has a bit of a "clean" sound to it, not unlike the first 3 albums.

Lyrics

4 Stars - Released on 10-14-1977 
  This album's live versions really juice up the studio versions of some of the songs. Side 4 of ALIVE II is great, with it's studio songs. It would have been nice to hear at least one or two of them performed live.

5 Stars - Released on 9-18-1978 
  Ace proved himself with his solo album. He can write songs, sing, and play. Ace and Paul's solo albums have a definite KISS vibe to them, unlike the other 2.

Lyrics

3 Stars - Released on 9-18-1978 *Gene went WAY to far into right field for me with this. He seemed to be going for a "Beatle-esque" sound, and achieved it on a some of his songs. See You Tonite is one of my favorite KISS songs. 

Radioactive 3:50 Simmons
Burning Up With Fever 4:19 Simmons
See You Tonite 2:30 Simmons

3 Stars - Released on 5-20-1980 
  For some reason, some of the songs don't sound complete to me. After hearing the demo for Your All That I Want, I think they should have went with it. 

Is That You? 3:55 McMahon

3 Stars - Released on 11-10-1981 
  A good effort. It's a shame the whole concept wasn't followed through. There was supposed to be dialog between some of the songs, so as to set the story of The Elder up. I still listen to The Elder quite often.

2 Stars - Released on 5-14-1992 
  It's been called "Destroyer II", but for the life of me, I can't see why. I Just Wanna, is one of KISS' best songs ever. Domino and Unholy are also great tracks. It just seems there was a lot of clichéd song lyrics on Revenge.

Take It Off 4:50 Stanley/Ezrin/Roberts

4 Stars - Released on 9-22-1998 
  Finally a new KISS album, but with relatively little input (or performing) from Peter and Ace. In any case, I think this album's sound and song lyrics really capture the spirit of modern day KISS.
